McClements makes four saves to earn her first shutout of the season

RINDGE, N.H. (September 13, 2001) - The Franklin Pierce University Women's field hockey team knotted their first Northeast-10 Conference win with a 1-0 shutout over Merrimack.

The Ravens controlled most of the first half, but didn't score until the 9:15 mark of the second. FPC's Erin Sykes (West Windsor, Vt./Windsor) took a midfield pass from April Demers (Gorham, N.H./Gorham) to setup Debbie Jones (Escondido, Calif./Bishops) in front of the Merrimack net. Jones ripped the winning tally past Merrimack's Kaitlin McCone (Hanover, Mass/Notre Dame) to give the Ravens the 1-0 advantage. McCone made eight saves for the Pioneers.

Kasey McClements (Ashland, Mass./Ashland) earned her first shutout of the season, as she stopped four saves in the win.

The Ravens (1-2, 1-0 NE-10) return to action on Saturday, Sept. 15, when they face LIU C.W. Post at noon at Winchendon School.
